Measurements were made at 1-2 cm intervals from near-complete composite stratigraphic sequences at both of the studied sites with the goal of obtaining high spatial resolution of sediment magnetic properties, including detailed characterization of variations in magnetic mineralogy, concentration, and grain size. The decay of a metastable magnetic mineral or the dissolution of fine-grained magnetite by organic matter reduction had strongly affected both cores, reducing the magnetic intensity to 7%-10% of the initial magnetization. Measurements were carried out ca. 4-6 months after the cores were drilled. Despite the reduced magnetic signal we were able to define a stable characteristic remanence for most of the core. Cyclic variations that were observed over short and long stratigraphic intervals are strongly driven at Earth orbital periodicities and have been used to obtain a detailed age model based on comparison with the insolation record.completedQuaternary geologyGeochronologyBrunhes ChronCaliforniaCenozoiccontinental borderlandcoresdiagenesisEast Cortez BasinEast PacificLeg 167magnetic intensitymagnetizationmagnetostratigraphymarine sedimentsnatural remanent magnetizationNorth PacificNortheast PacificOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1012ODP Site 1013Pacific OceanpaleomagnetismQuaternaryremanent magnetizationSan Diego CaliforniaSan Diego County CaliforniaSan Nicholas BasinsedimentsSouthern CaliforniaUnited Statesupper Quaternaryurn:org.iodp:exp:167urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:167:site:1012urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:167urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:167:site:1013urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:167urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-118.5355-118.230232.165832.4803
